A*M SELECTED DWARF MILO MAIZE 
Seed per acre 3 to 5 lbs.; height 4 feet; yield 2,000 to 2,500 lbs. 
gram; plant from April till the middle of June. Since the cost per acre 
of Milo Maize is very small, it certainly pays to secure the best seed 
obtainable. As Milo Maize crosses very easily with other sorghums 
we produce our seed in isolated districts where there are no other 
sorghum crops grown near, and by selection of the strain it is kept 
very true. (lb. 25c) (10 lbs. $2.00) (25 lbs. $4.00) postpaid. Write

DOUBLE DWARF DARLO 
Seed per acre 3 to 5 lbs.; height 2-214 feet; 2,000 to 2,500 lbs.

Agronomy, particularly for its resistance to Pythium root rot. We 
recommend this Milo only for those districts where Pythium root rot 
is prevalent, as it is not quite as hardy as Dwarf Milo and is one to 
two weeks later, (lb. 25c) (10 lbs. $2.00) (25 lbs. $4.00) postpaid.

as well as days the best time to plant is April 15 to May 1. The yield 
of straw will run from 500 to 2,000 pounds per acre and after har¬ 
vesting, the balance of the crop makes a very satisfactory silage.

tion every two or three weeks until it becomes too large. The sorg¬ 
hum is ready to cut for the silo when the seed has matured. 
If you need forage for your horses, cattle or hogs, sorghum planted 
about April 1 will furnish you the best feed in the shortest space of 
time. One-half acre will feed four head of stock all summer if only 
enough is cut each day for one day's need. In this way ope can cut 
continuously all summer. As much as 40 tons may be cut from 1 acre.
